After a yearlong closure and refresh, Toontown is doubling down on Mickey Mouse and friends while adding patches of picnic-ready green space that get children out of the strollers and running free.
Mickey’s Toontown opened at Disneyland in 1993, inspired by the wild world of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.” But now, after a yearlong closure and refresh, Toontown is doubling down on Mickey Mouse and friends while adding patches of picnic-ready green space that get children out of the strollers and running free.
When Disneyland’s Toontown opened 30 years ago, it was full of harsh slants and brash colors — a wildly painted world based on clashes of styles and tones rather narrative cohesion. Take a stroll through its refresh and one major change is immediately apparent: The colors are muted, and at long last feel in harmony with one another.Mickey and Minnie figures installed on New CenTOONial Park Fountain at Disneyland’s Toontown.
Holding onto that childhood spirit is vital, and even as a grown-up visiting Toontown with friends and their children, I felt the pull to jump in a large water lily-like spinning chair outside of Donald’s boat. Goofy’s House, once a place to bounce around in, is now a sort of candy-making factory. It’s a more inclusive design that allows adults and kids of all mobility to participate together, turning standard kitchen items into rhythm-making machines.
